I believe all questions about mechanics are answered here :

I agree with this, although one can make the argument that we aren't professionals dedicated to playing this event and having a minimum amount of subs ready is better (8 players cap seems low to me).

How can you call a stream where you just broadcast what decisions have been made a "discussion" ? I still don't get it. This doesn't answer any of my questions, or rather, everything answers question 3) meaning that you don't have any intentions of allowing community to vote and if so you should just say it straight ahead instead of dodging everything.

You guys go way too far lmao I just don't understand why you keep saying community is on your side or whatever yet every choices you've made have been taken by a chosen sample of players and yourself. If you truly read WC topics you should have seen that we usually vote on what we want to play and how, and then hosts do what they can to accommodate players. I don't share as much passion as the guy above me about all this but it doesn't look good when you answer genuine criticism about lack of unanimity with flexing random numbers that doesn't reflect anything on the pertinence and approval of the decisions you have made so far. So 1) will you consider letting community vote different options they can discuss in forums about tiers and the number of em 2) if yes, can we make it so every country has same weight (captain vote or whatever) instead of being a shitshow with unavoidable drama at the end 3) if not, can you assume your decisions and confidently argue in favor for them instead of hiding behind a "support" from players that a) either exist mostly in words and b) are precisely players that didn't really gain community trust before ?

why do people expect any kind of reward anyways where have the days gone where people communicating to each other was something with no other intentions than itself ? smh no wonder this game struggles so much to create a community outside teams, people are just so damn greedy and selfish

Kek I actually did same like two weeks ago

You can teach Worry Seed too, so there's a chance your Smeargle never goes to sleep. (that goes for the Spore versions aswell)

I've had this bug too, I thought it got fixed. Relogging works though

Breloom takes 3 turns. These methods takes 2. You gain a little bit of time. It doesn't matter a lot in the end which method you use as long as you're comfortable with them, OP said they don't like Assist and then shared two others. They have their advantages and inconveniences.

Shut up and protect the ocean I'll pee in my shower everyday from now on hoping ocean-chan notices me uwu

A little BM tip for those players that let run down the 3 minutes out of rage on the last turn / hoping you disconnect : when you win match, whisper them : "Sorry I was afk while waiting your command, did I win ?" Got 100% rage block/disconnect success on that one.

I don't think we're playing the same game, literally everything that is possible to farm except vanities went up in value because of players mono-farming event. Of course it's gonna go back to original price, but I don't know how soon since players have a lot of money to spend and less incentive to farm right now.

Ah yes, OP should have thought about that... thanks for your useful contribution to this post. I think I've seen this issue being brought up in Suggestion box. As someone living in countryside with wack wifi I understand how frustrating it can be that on top of losing your match you get to be punished for something that you don't have control over. I'm sure there can be some kind of solution out there...

I'm also LF pokemons with 69 IVs caught a 06/09 to complete my living dex collection this is a dream I always had and I thanks team [Fart] for inspiring me and helping me with those.

The cooldown remains 5 minutes whatever your methods to respawn the rocks.

Hi everyone, I am selling this unique rare item from 2012, it can't be obtained again and never will, it is from a Shuckle swarm where a player from 2012 caught it in a Masterball. It is very rare, I don't think anyone else has this item, I unfortunaly really need some cash and have to let it go even though it matters a lot to me It looks like a regular Berry Juice but it is in fact unique. You can message me your offers, but don't waste your time if you dont offer at least 10M. I accept only cash or I can trade with Pikachus that were caught in 06/18/2015 at 06:34 UTC.

Here you can read devs trying to be sorry for something they didn't want to put efforts in.

The goal of it all IS to make players versatile and open to new tiers, it's not a barrier that you can't cross and I now understand Draekin post ; you have enough attempts to be rewarded of making the effort. I honestly find it cool that similarly to the main games, some gyms have their gimmicks and don't mind one with a doubles gym leader. (Ofc I would mind if there were three but most gyms managed to be different and not cheese the system).

Then I take back what I've said. I suggested a Bo3 while it's already pretty much the case for most gyms (3 defeats in a row gives you three chances).

Lol I actually thought it was required. Won't gym leaders be spammed and overloaded with battles at some points like 4 weeks into ? I assume rebattling trainers was the way to prevent that from happening.

I understand your point, but your arguments are a little bit unfair ; there are multiple gyms and a limited amount of time a player can afford to spend on the event (its a lot of battles and I'm not even counting the time it takes you to adapt to a new tier). I will personally try to aim a few badges and for the moment give up on some others because, while I am willing to adapt and will certainly have to, I am being realistic that losing time fighting 5 trainers in a short time span for a one-time battle against a top player in a tier I never played before is going to result in defeat. So yeah, you can't just brush off the arguments with "you don't adapt" it is a bit unfair in my opinion, although I respect and understand why you say that.

It is a good point. I think I am just afraid that for some badges, you enter a loophole of gym leaders gatekeeping their badges (which is something they should do) in a way that isn't fun/entertaining for the challenger (systematically being challenged on a tier they don't play). I think having a gym like yours where there's only 1 tier/format is interesting, I just pointed out that Kaynine ruling would not work here. But it could however solve the problem I mentioned above.

Gotta love the WrathxKrilin ship

Sounds good too. But currently some gyms like BR offer only 1 tier which is Doubles (if I read all well)

Can we make gym leader battles BO3 with a format like (OU/Challenger's choice/Gym leader's choice) to avoid the situation where you will forever have to play a tier/format you don't like/play since that's always the option gym leaders will choose against you ? Like, OK I like that a badge needs challenge to be claimed but being forced to play a fucking Doubles match after climbing my way to a gym leader seems the definition of not fun.
